Description: Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.

Volunteer Reviews:
"My partner and I played this game literally every day on our lunchbreak while working from home during the first lockdown (and it's probably thanks to Carcassonne that the Board Game Library exists!) Carcassone is a fairly straightforward tile laying game that works as well for 2 players as 4 or 5. You can be as sneaky as you want in sabotaging other players and trying to claim their territory. Once you've mastered the base game, why not introduce new house rules, like always having a hand of 3 tiles to choose from, or play on a long thin surface to restrict the dimensions of the world you're building." - Jess
